🔍 Key Concepts

• Obligations of the master to render assistance to persons in distress at sea under SOLAS and international law • Circumstances under which a master may discontinue or be released from search and rescue efforts • Role of the Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) and other on‑scene vessels in coordinating assistance

💭 Think About

• Think about who has the authority to tell you that your help is no longer needed, especially once multiple units are on scene. • Consider whether lack of certain equipment or a tight schedule legally removes your duty to assist. • Ask yourself in what situation it becomes clear that the persons in distress are adequately assisted without you.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option involves a clear communication that assistance is no longer required. • Check which choices are based on legal or operational authority, not just convenience or equipment limitations. • Eliminate any options that rely only on your vessel’s schedule, speed, or lack of specific boats without an explicit release from the distress situation or RCC.
